Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1542 - 430: The Crisis of the Immortal Phoenix Sect (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 20)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Even the simplest movement from it released enough Rule Power to effortlessly warp the fabric of time.
Such was the might of the fourth realm's Immortal Rules.
In a previous incarnation, Qiuqiu’s Time Gap Rule had once attained the fourth realm.
By merging three separate lifetimes into a single entity, the Time Gap Rule integrated with the Time Scripture, evolving into a superior tier of Immortal Rules.
Seizing the chance provided by Lin Su’s breakthrough, these Immortal Rules surged forward, instantly reclaiming the realm once held by the original Time Gap Rule.
Furthermore, Qiuqiu successfully forged a Rule Artifact while its immortal body was being refined.
These were the twin horns, now infused with the essence of the Ghost Venerate.
While those twin horns had always been present, they rarely drew attention.
It was only at the moment of Qiuqiu's ascension to immortality that they finally fulfilled their true purpose.
As the Immortal Rules flooded its form, the three ice crystals positioned behind Qiuqiu’s head dissolved.
However, the Past Mirror and Future Mirror remained, instead fusing directly into Qiuqiu’s left and right horns.
They became an eternal source of power residing within the horns.
This transformation allowed Qiuqiu, despite being in the fourth realm, to exert a level of strength that far surpassed the norm, enabling it to challenge opponents in the sixth realm or even higher.
"Time Venerate, I see..." Lin Su gave a small nod. "Encompassing everything from the ancient past to the present is time; time is essentially duration. It is a very suitable title."
"In that case, I..." Standing nearby, Ghost contemplated for a moment before nodding firmly. "I shall be known as the Ghost Venerate!"
Though it had considered calling itself the Space Venerate to match Qiuqiu, its abilities extended beyond mere spatial manipulation.
Following its breakthrough to immortality, Ghost’s rule realm rapidly climbed to the third realm.
It followed the path established previously, where the core of the Endless Hell evolved to give birth to the Endless Rule.
Since its Stacking Space Rule had already reached the third realm, advancing the Endless Rule to the same level proved to be an easy task.
Aside from its physical form expanding to a massive size during its ascension—shaping itself into a body of rules—Ghost also succeeded in creating its own Rule Artifact, just as Qiuqiu had.
While the Endless Hell was a power shared between Ghost and Yingying, Ghost’s specific Rule Artifact was the Seven Sins of the Owl.
These Seven Sins of the Owl had evolved significantly since their inception; each now commanded one of the seven sins and possessed its own sentience. Individually, they held power exceeding the imperial level, and together, they were practically equivalent to an immortal entity.
"Ghost Venerate..." Lin Su smiled as he looked up at Ghost, who remained incredibly tall even after shrinking its form. "It is good."
When they first met, Lin Su had chosen that name because the surrounding black mist made it look like a ghost.
He never anticipated that Ghost would eventually walk a path that led it to become the sovereign of the Endless Hell.
The title fit perfectly.
"Then my title shall be Yōu Venerate." Youyou grinned sweetly, swinging the long spear through the air twice.
The Rule Power of the Shattered Realm swirled around it, occasionally sparking with the terrifying aura of the True Phoenix Flame.
Unlike its companions, Youyou’s unique nature meant it did not develop a rule body spanning tens of thousands of meters upon reaching the immortal phase.
Instead, its rule body was its Spiritual Body.
This Spiritual Body had now fully transitioned into a physical fleshly body after being tempered by the rules.
Its original main body, the lance, was also successfully forged into its Rule Artifact.
This process granted an additional advantage.
Previously, Youyou’s Shattered Rules were plagued by a violent backlash.
This recoil made it nearly impossible for Youyou to use the Shattered Rules for long periods without receiving help from Tata.
Now, that weakness was gone.
During the immortal breakthrough, the refining process using the Shattered Rules made Youyou completely immune to their negative effects.
From this point on, its power could be used at will; even if the Undying Golden Body were prohibited in team competitions, Youyou would remain unaffected.
"Yōu Venerate, huh..." Lin Su felt a wave of nostalgia as he patted Youyou’s head.
In the beginning, Youyou was just a weapon known as the Ghostly Spirit Spear.
It had transformed step by step to reach this height, yet it still kept the name "Yōu."
It was quite pleasant.
"Then I will..." Tata scratched its head before making a quick choice. "I'll be the Sound Venerate!"
Even though it was now capable of combat, singing remained its favorite activity.
For Tata, no title could be more perfect.
With its choice made, it pulled out its Magic Wand—now a Rule Artifact—and began singing with excitement to celebrate its new name.
As it sang, the third realm's Retrospective Rule began to flow outward in every direction.
As the song reached their ears, Lin Su and the other five pets looked at one another, unable to hide their feelings of helplessness.
Even with the breakthrough to immortality, Tata’s singing style remained...
quite unique.
"I shall be the Prison Venerate." A look of longing appeared in Yingying’s blood-red eyes.
Belonging to the Purgatory Dragon King race, it commanded the Purgatory Rule and held half the sovereignty over the Endless Hell. The title "Prison" was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
After reaching the immortal phase, Yingying possessed the largest rule body among the six, stretching nearly a hundred thousand meters in length. Even when coiled, its presence was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Across its massive hundred-thousand-meter form, there were exactly 99,999 dragon scales.
